I'm definitely excited. Hell, I'm just happy that it's going to finally support my 5.1 sound system. 
Oh yeah, and as B said, it looks pretty fuckin slick. But then again, the PS2 looked a helluva lot better than the Xbox.

The PS3 has WAY more power than any of those "Im-a-computer-trying-to-be-a-console" bullshit systems. The Cell processor will own any computer on the market in the face...twice. And the GPU for the PS3 kicks the ass of 3 Radeon x800s and has 512mb of video ram.
yeah I emailed that site about the No Console to Console ill post what they send back if they even do. My self Im gonna get the xbox two just because I like the Xbox more. To me its all really brand preferance. I kinda doubt that games will come out that will really tax a machine with that high of specs, if they do then thats pretty freakin cool but still. Im gonna go with Xbox.
Hardly, there is a reason that the card alone cost more than this whole sytem is probably going to sell for.

Holy cooling issues. The G5 has enough heating and cooling issues as it is at 2.7GHz. 3.2 is insane.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
PS3: 1.8 TFLOPS floating point performance
You were saying?

I was saying there is a lot more to a GPU than the floating point ops.

nVidia designed the GPU for the PS3.
"The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. It also has over 300 million transistors, larger than any processor available commercially today. It was manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 ultras, which would cost rough $1000 if bought today."
It's called the Reality Synthesizer for a reason.

Why would you want to? Use the PS3 as a workstation. It outperforms any computer on the market today. When there's a Linux that runs on it I'll be one of the first to install it
A pair of widescreen HDTV monitors, that much processing and graphics power... that's a rendering godsend!

As ashamed I am to say it, I read that it was capable of 2 TFLOPS and I almost got a boner
It all comes down to one thing. Halo. Sony will never create a FPS that will come close to Halo, thus Xbox 360 + Halo 3 = PS who?
Don't deny it fuckers, look at the sales, NO game has impacted a system more than Halo, on any gaming system. Like it or hate it, just watch. All the specs on the planet don't mean shit if Master Chief is rocking the Xbox.

Grand Theft Auto. I don't see Halo posters covering old buildings as I drive downtown.
Halo's a good game, don't get me wrong but damn for an FPS it is slow.
That, and I can buy Halo for PC

Halo 2 sold more copies in one day than GTA did in a week, by approx 340,000 copies.
GTA San Andreas has outsold Halo2 by about a mil, BUT not till it is availible on both consoles. And Halo 1 has still sold over 1.1 mil THIS year, and has stay in or near the top ten since it came out.

Playstation has it's share of all-star titles. That, and sure Halo has outsold just about everything else, but 1: it's a microsoft game. 2: it's almost the only title I really hear about on xbox anymore. That and the KOTOR games.
as far as I'm concerned, the xbox has just a few franchises keeping it alive. Yes it's doing well, but the franchises are doing well. Playstation doesn't have to rely on a couple big-name series'.

Screw halo, its not even a good game. FPS' belong on a computer. If I wanted to play an FPS, i'd play HL2, which has better graphics and gameplay and story and multiplayer and everything than Halo. Halo isn't really anything new either. All M$ did was take a generic space shooter and allow you to use 2 joysticks. Wow, impressive microsoft.
^^ I'm also with Battle Pope. The fact that M$ relies so much on Halo to push their gaming console says a lot about how sucessful its going to be also. In the end, the Xbox360 is going to get owned.

Wow, I didn't think there was anyone out there who agreed with me.
FPS's played out in the 90's. Halo/Halo2 is just like every other FPS out there (which, in turn, are like every other FPS......), and is boring just like every other FPS. I suppose the multiplayer aspect is the only thing saving the game. Even that gets old REAL fast. "Ha ha, I blew you up for the 32nd time!"Similar threads
